Pipers and Pipe Band Society of Ontario
The PPBSO — the Pipers’ and Pipe Band Society of Ontario — administers piping, drumming and pipe band contest at various highland games throughout Ontario. Several of these annual summer competitions have special designations, including the North American Championship, the Canadian Championship and the Ontario Championship.
The Niagara-Hamilton Branch is one of several local PPBSO branches throughout Ontario. We hold monthly meetings from October through April.
In addition to being a fun social gathering, our meetings provide opportunities to develop piping and drumming in our area.
We hold annual Amateur Competitions for amateur pipers and drummers.
We also hold the Livingstone Invitational, Agnew-Harrison Drumming Invitational, support the George Sherriff Memorial Invitational and The Highland Gala.
